In response to some recent low-quality low-effort posting in the forum the staff have decided to form some rules about proper forum etiquette and what constitutes fair and reasonable use of the forum: 1a) If you suspect that something might have to be deleted by a Reviewer, Moderator or Administrator, don't post it. 1b) Or if you suspect that your post might not be appropriate for some reason consider if it might not fit better in a different section of the forum. The forum has many sub-forums in it that are meant to be flexible and allow users to post all kinds of content, as long as it has its proper place. 2a) Keep threads on topic. Although the forum is meant almost exclusively for music discussions, there are sub-forums which are dedicated to any topic which can be used, if users so desire, to "shoot the sh*t". 2b) But if a thread is meant to be about a specific musical composition posted in "Upload your Compositions for Analysis and Feedback" please keep the thread about the music posted in question. If you want to post a new piece of music as a response to someone else's post, please create a new dedicated topic for that piece. 3) Please refrain from talking about inflammatory topics such as substance use or abuse or sexually explicit topics considered NSFW. And if you must talk about religion or politics, please create dedicated topics in appropriate sub-forums rather than flooding the musical forums with unrelated conversation. Also, please try to keep talk of religion or politics related to music history. Disregarding this etiquette will cause the member in question to be penalized with a warning point and the following penalties: 3 warning points - member's content will be manually moderated by the staff 6 warning points - member will be temporarily restricted from posting content 9 warning points - member will be temporarily suspended from accessing the site 12 or more warning points - member will be considered to be banned from the site permanently Editing of inflammatory posts in question will potentially reverse warning points.

We'd like to welcome a new member and Reviewer to the staff: @UncleRed99! Welcome! With his help as well as with input from the rest of the staff, @chopin, @Thatguy v2.0 and @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu we've come up with a little poll for the members to answer to help determine the form of our next fun competition/challenge. There are two questions in the poll: 1) What should the competition be about? To write background music for one of @chopin's Retry Bro's YouTube videos. Explanation: @chopin has a new YouTube channel! It's called Retry Bros. and consists of him playing Super Mario Maker levels and coming up with entertaining narration from Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, and other assorted characters. There's also a musical element. So far, Mike has come up with some clever lyrics and used AI to make realistic sounding songs that go along with the video. Now, where you would come in is that you'd be writing background music for one of @chopin's new videos! To write some kind of autobiographical piece with a paragraph describing how the music portrays the autobiographical material. This one is @UncleRed99's suggestion. The idea is to "write a piece that simply tells a story about your life, and something meaningful within it. Utilize complex elements to express emotion, tension, or any other desired emotional or mentally relatable expression. Provide a brief summary describing the root of the story being told." To write a Halloween-themed spooky, weird, or outlandish and strange piece. This one is self-explanatory and was proposed by @Thatguy v2.0. My own idea is for the members to write M&M&M's - Mock-ups, Mash-ups and Medleys. The idea is for the members to take 2 or more preexisting themes from different genres of music and to make mash-ups and Medleys with them. 2) What kind of ensemble should the competitors be free to choose to write for? The poll has closed and the competition has now begun!

Ah no wonder! Your playing is the element I really enjoyed, your music was really brought to life. You're quite the player!

Hello my dear friend. Thank you so much that you like my music. The piano is VST from pianoteq8. Here I use petrof mistral. So I recorded myself with pianoteq8 plugin. So what you are hearing is me playing and use pianoteq8 sounds.

Man, this seems incredibly difficult! This piece seems like an experiment or something, but you have a lot of really cool ideas. It's a bit hodge podge to me, like a bunch of ideas thrown together that don't quite fit or don't transition well. However, like I said, your ideas in this are cool. This would be something if it were my piece that I would take ideas from and build new pieces out of! Regardless, was a fun listen, even if I didn't quite know how the piano parts would be played in certain spots 😄

Mr. Tristan... 😅😅 Piggy-backing off of what Henry said; I'd urge you to use the visualizer tool that Musescore.com has built into their interactive score window. Here's a screenshot of your piece in the visualizer. Idk about you, but that appears to be quite... inhuman to play. 😅😅😅 Almost like the notes written weren't chosen with any rhyme or reason. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future. Take your time, and really discover what it is that you want to "say" with your music!

Here another of my latest compositions. One of my favorite pieces… The title Echoes may be relevant, but I felt that even though the piece is short, it carries dynamics with alternating crescendos and decrescendos, recurring motifs, imitations, and with its intense character in C-sharp minor it can justify the title. In any case, regardless of the title, I have a special fondness for this piece, and it fully expresses my musical state of mind. I hope you enjoy it.

I made these 13 mock-ups on 13 themes from Final Fantasy VI intending to use them to familiarize myself with the themes in preparation for writing a big variations piece based on them. At first, I only intended to write variations on the "Returner's Theme" but it soon ballooned out of control as I noticed how many of the themes in the game are inter-related thematically and so I had to include more. I am posting the themes here with PDF scores for your perusal in the order in which they appear in the game (but I group them according to theme groups that are most related to each other). Also, here are the links to the original tracks on YouTube: Omen 3 - This is the title screen version of Terra's Theme. Terra's Theme - Terra is the main protagonist in the game. A half magical being (esper) half human. The empire takes advantage of her magical powers. The Awakening - also based on Terra's Theme, this music plays when Terra awakens after getting her slave crown removed. Disaster/Metamorphosis - this is also based on Terra's Theme. It plays when there's a disaster and Terra transforms into her esper form. Save Them!/Protect the Espers! - this is also based on Terra's Theme. Plays during an escape sequence or when fighting the Empire's soldiers as they try to gain access to the espers. Fight Theme Troops March On - this is the first theme in the Empire's Theme group. Plays when Kefka and his soldiers are marching towards Figaro Castle. Martial Law - plays in town when the empire occupies it. The Gestahl Empire - final theme in the Empire's Theme group. Plays when the Imperial capitol of Vector is set on fire by the espers. Kefka's Theme - Kefka is the evil antagonist who overthrows the emperor to gain ultimate power and lead the world into ruin. Mt. Kolts Returner's March - The Returner's are an organization that is trying to resist the evil empire and Kefka and Emperor Gestahl. Magitec Factory - In the Imperial capitol of Vector, the empire has constructed a factory to create Magitec armor granting magic power to those wielding it. To go to the thread where I wrote my own original music based on these themes go here:

This is my most popular piece on the internet. My brother almost wants to make love to me over it. I think it is a good piano piece. I wrote it in some bar or coffeeshop in 1996. Thoughts?🤣 Barcarolle Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Piano/Keyboard | Noteflight

Hey everyone, Here are a few tracks from my new album aimed at TV and Film licensing. Once again focused on the action/adventure genre, but this one has a greater focus on modern cinematic music and fusions of genres from around the world. Everything from new age, to rock, to latin pop and inspired by films like National Treasure, Tomb Raider, 007, Pirates and more. Hope you all enjoy it. I'll update the thread as I upload a couple more tracks to the ol' YouTube, but in the meantime, if you want to check out the rest of it, you can listen on spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/5VacPSF2HmD200E2NKCZmx Thank you.

Here is a scherzo. Enjoy. My third scherzo:https://musescore.com/user/96214813/scores/28066087

Three Roads Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight I consider it a sort of Tolkien setting, because he liked this Child Ballad, and quoted this fragment of it in an essay.

Ah, I understand now! And don't take my words as judgement of your skill, at all. I hope that wasn't what was gathered. I didn't know this was written so long ago! Figured this was a newer score being shared as recent work looking for improvement. Thank you for the clarification.

Thank you so much again for your nice words. Im doing my best and making the music that express myself. Thanks again .

Don't know how I missed this Sounds great! Always love your work And keep us updated if you get hired for anything really cool 😄

Dude I can't even tell if this is a real piano or not. If it's vst, what is it? The music is really enjoyable, thanks for sharing!

Very nice, and I love the "classic" look of your manuscript!

Nice piece my friend. I like your counterpoint. Well done

Well, I didn't write this directly into Noteflight, though I can do that now but only with a piano piece, but Three Roads was written on paper, May 8-12 1999, I actually dated the manuscript. This is a classical guitar part even though it is played on an electric; chord indications and tab are not standard in classical guitar published music. This is a chromatic and harmonically adventurous piece, it was just the poem, really, I wasn't always writing like that in 1999!

I like the overall texture of this piece. A few concerns. The Guitar part; Not many guitarists can read sheets like this. Tabs would be preferred, and if not tabs, all chords used across the score should be indicated (like this) for the guitarist to play along. Also, I noticed at M. 67, I have no idea what's goin on there with the ensemble, but it's definitely out of key between all the parts. lol Made me cringe a bit, if I'm honest. At M. 44, it appears that you're attempting a modulation there to another key, as from that point, accidentals are everywhere... While I didn't have much time to review the score to determine the chords / key being utilized, I'd highly suggest reviewing that area to make any corrections in accidentals that would be necessary based on the chords/key utilized. Fun piece, but much notation work could be accomplished to better polish what's written. Also, I'd highly suggest upgrading from Noteflight to at least MuseScore studio or something similar. Noteflight imo is a pain to use... Just trying to use it to determine the chords in those 4 measures for you was a pain in the rear... 😅

For those of us who use MS Studio, they've rolled out a Massive update as of yesterday evening. Here is their video explaining all changes made Quick overview: Input duration can be controlled with Midi keyboard alone count-in while playing active Added Euphonium ($14.99) and Handbells (+Handbell input symbol panel) (Free) sounds via muse sounds improved Linux VST3 support Added new methods for hiding staves Piano Guitar Vocal (PVG) Support More Engraving options More Font Support Workflow updates Accessibility Support Updates

Well, that is fake s*it. She had some aspirations towards composition, but just stole Chopin.

Anyway, going to smoke more MARIJUANA, that DEVIL-WEED, and if you don't like it, Auf Wiedersehen!🤑
